Project Blue Book ( Season 2) - Aidan Gillen and Neal McDonough Interview

From Academy Award and Golden Globe Winner Robert Zemeckis, HISTORY’S Hit Drama Series Project Blue Book’ Returns for Season 2 on January 21st at 10PM ET/PT

Aidan Gillen of Game of Thrones fame and and Neal McDonough of Desperate Housewives fame are the two stars of Project Blue Book who have learned a think or two about UFO’s over the years.

“Project Blue Book” is based on the true, top secret investigations into Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and related phenomena conducted by the United States Air Force from 1952-1969. Aidan Gillen (“Game of Thrones,” “Peaky Blinders”) stars as Dr. J. Allen Hynek, a brilliant college professor recruited by the U.S. Air Force to spearhead this clandestine operation (ProjectBlue Book) that researched thousands of cases, many of which were never solved. Each episode draws from the actual files, blending UFO theories with authentic historical events from one of the most mysterious eras in United States history. At a time when UFOs and related phenomena have piqued worldwide attention and public intrigue, season two will take a dramatic look back at where the UFO conspiracy first began and highlight real cases that ignited America’s fascination around the topic beginning with iconic cases Roswell and Area 51. 
 

Aidan Gillen recently starred in the Freddy Mercury biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody. He also starred opposite Debra Winger in The Lovers, Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword and in the third installment of the Maze Runner series Maze Runner: Death Cure. Gillen can be seen in the fourth season of the BBC Two series Peaky Blinders which is streaming on Netflix. 
 

Neal McDonough will always be remembered for his role in the hit series, Desperate Housewives. More recently, he played the villain, Damien Darhk, on the hit CW series Arrow and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and starred in the hit Netflix film Game Over, Man! He also had a strong recurring role on USA’s Suits. Currently, you can see him starring in the series, Yellowstone, alongside Kevin Costner.
